Yank Sing

On an average weekday, all 250 seats of this Rincon Center restaurant are filled with hungry diners, and the dining room is bustling with roving carts stacked with bamboo baskets holding more than 80 different dim sum items. On weekends, the outside atrium is used and the number of diners doubles to 500; even then, there's often a wait. Three generations of the Chan family have kept this dim sum restaurant on top for more than 50 years. The offerings may be more expensive than at other places, but the variety and quality justify the cost. In addition to dumplings, the restaurant offers individual orders of Peking duck; excellent pea shoots; and the signature cabbage, walnut and honey salad. There's also a smaller location a few blocks away on Stevenson.
